Okay, everybody, it's back to school soon, so what better for your first course than a little Minus One action. The topic today is art, as in the artwork for the comicbook Minus One.
Ronn Sutton is the pencil artist and Ian Sokoliwski handled the inks and the colors. When I first started talking to Josh Aitken, my editor, and described the feel I wanted for the book he recommended some artists for me to look at. I checked out several but soon realized that Ronn and Ian were perfect for the book. I wanted Minus One to look and feel like a silver age comic and I think the art team really delivered on that score.
From the great sand monster, to the faces of the children no detail was too great or too small for their talented hands and eyes.
My gratitude to these fine gentlemen, and a tip of the cap to all star letterer Ed Brisson who handled the lettering with ease making me look smarter than I am, and without cluttering up any more of the artwork than I made necessary.
Next time you are having a look at the book, take a few moments on each page to peel back the words and just savor the art. You will be glad you did!
Your homework is to read the story, savor the art and rate and fan the book if you liked it!
Until next time.
